Hi.

A Roman Catholic here.

What do you think of the following scenario...

The caca has hit the fan. Everything has gone crazy and you are going to have to make a decision...

Stand and fight or run?

You have dug your foxhole for three people. There is incoming on your position. Three guys are seeking what little cover there is. One is a Jew, one is a Protestant and one is a Muslim.

Who do you let survive?

Well in that scenario I'd anticipate the Muslim is on the side of the enemy so he's a no go.

I would also theorize the Jew and the Protestant will have more in common than the Muslim will.

And I would let a RC in the foxhole btw. Both the RC and the Jew need witnessing to and conversion to Christianity.

IF we want to look at some historical events I've can imagine how RCs would treat the Jew and the Protestant.

There have been some, though it is a small number, on these threads who've advocated a return to those days.

Recall it was Roman Catholicism who made the Jews and Muslims wear ID on their clothing so they could be identified.

Canon 68 (Ut Iudaei discernantur a christianis in habitu or That Jews should be distinguished from Christians in their dress): Mandated a special dress code for Jews and Saracens to distinguish them from Christians so that no Christian shall come to marry them ignorant of who they are. Fourth Council of the Lateran 1213-1215

To my knowledge these canons have not been overturned.

The Catholic would let all three in and then step out and possibly lay down his life for his brothers.

St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us.

But; if you’re a Catholic who dug the hole, and REALLY believe what you preach; then you’ll let all in and YOU’LL stay out!
